Club elected me one of the committee
to go to Washington to bring the con-
vention here. Icollected money every
where. We went down to Washington
and kept open house to show the peo-
pie of Washington the hospitality of
Chicago. The result was that we
brought the convention back here"

AN ACCOMPLISHED FORCES.
CHICAGO, Aug. IA. j. Whitman,
boOkkeeper for the Central Union
Telephone Company, was arrested to-
day for forgery, and waving examina-
ton was committed to the Criminal
Court under $25, 900 bonds. Three
years ago Whitman entered the Tele-
phone Company's employ and rapidly
won his way to position of confidence
and responsibility. Within three
years, so far as ascertained, he has &C
last he forged two checks for $500 each
on the Northwestern National Bank.
His bold and accurate method,
his versatile penmanShip and
his cool assurance mark his crime as a
highly finished piece of work. In due
form he drew up a check on the said
bank to the order of f. p. Ross, man.
ager of the Telephone Company,
signed by A. S. Chapman, the treas
Phillips, the president, and endorsed
by Ross. Each of the forged sigma
lures partook so strikingly of the char
acter of its respective copy piece
that it required much time to trace the
crime down. On that same day and,
in like fashion, as well as to an equal
amount, Whitman fraudulently ut
tered another check, except that in this
instance g. II. Wilson was the payee.
The bank people had Whitman ar
rested on these two charges to-day,
while the officers of the Telephone
Company came forward to testify that
they had discovered their losses at
Whitman's deXterous pen, amounting
to nearly $4,000. Whitman was I'M
able to furnish the bail, and went to
jail.

an old Indian who had a young son iv-
ing. Two young Indians from one OF
the other tribes aroused the ire of the
old husband by intimacy with his wife.
The jealous red man shot one of the
invaders of his happiness and fright
day afternoon. Early Sunday morn
ing tine surviving Lothario encountered
the old man and his son, killing the
young man and seriously woundinR the
